Roses

For unknown reasons roses have a prominent place in gardens. My experience in growing roses did not give me much joy. Roses need food at regular intervals, They need to be trimmed, the dead wood removed and watched for false shoots. Watering needs to be done cautiously neither too much nor too little. When there are a host of flowers that need little attention and still provide enough joy to a gardener wonder why we still hanker after them just as I do. I keep replacing dead rose plants knowing they are a pain. The collage tells a story. Do you have roses in your garden and what has been your experience?
